Swivel base apparatus and method of making a swivel base

An apparatus, comprising:

• a first plate having an external peripheral edge and an internal circular edge defining a central aperture in said first plate;
• a second plate having an external peripheral edge and a hook-shaped internal section defining an opening in said second plate, which hook shaped internal section includes a first component in contact with a first side of said first plate, a second component extending across said internal circular edge, and a third component in contact with a second side of said first plate, and the internal circular edge of said first plate being slideable within said hook-shaped internal section, and said second component defining a central hole in said swivel base which shares a common central axis with he central aperture defined by said internal circular edge;
• a first attachment structure secured to said first plate;
• and
• a second attachment structure secured to said second plate.

A swivel base, comprising:

• a first plate having an external peripheral edge and an internal circular edge;
• a second plate having an external peripheral edge and an internal hook-shaped section which defines a central aperture in said second plate and which receives the internal circular edge of said first plate so as to slidingly engage the first and second plates, and said book section being continuous about an entire circumference of said internal circular edge;
• said first and second plate sections each including at least one bearing reception area;
• at least one bearing member positioned within the reception area defined by said first and second plates such that said plates are adapted to rotate under both a sliding and a rolling action.
